Only it's like 200 dollars cheaper cause of Black Friday...

I've never really bought a pre built PC is there any reason I shouldn't other than the fact that usually you pay more for the assembly?

The main reason to build yourself is generally because it is cheaper. If it isn't for some reason, just buy the pre-built.

My first computer I built myself. Second I bought a prebuilt because I had more money and less time

This is the second thing I check after the graphics card and they are usually garbage with terrible reviews

Motherboard specs are a foreign language to me though

I mean, I'm not planning on overclocking or anything so I guess I'm just going with a pre built.

lol I'm weird, I bet it's usually people who build their own that are worried not the ones buying pre builts.

Overclocking is scary and intimidating.

could save if the PSU that TC does want to switch out is less than the total cost (i had to switch out the PSU myself when i wanted a better graphics card).

I don't see why it would matter when the thing isn't specifically a Black Friday item. It's a normal item that just has reduced price.

As others have said, pre-builts tend to cheap out on the less obvious parts. But not all pre-builts are like that. Just make sure you research the brand, model and the parts it uses if you can. If it seems safe, go for it. $200 is a pretty solid savings.

The only real downside is maybe you won't get familiar with the parts and what is what if it's your first one.

No, the person that built their own knows the quality of the parts. Pre-builts are hit and miss.
